No bike ride to Uran is complete without a visit to the Uran Fish Market. The bustling market opens around 8:30 AM and offers a wide variety of seafood. The produce is as fresh as the ocean, and the prices are much lower than those at your local market. Last Sunday, I decided to buy some fish and came across a fresh catch of mackerel. The sheen and freshness of the fish tempted me to purchase half a dozen pieces, and I was inspired to try a new recipe for Tawa Grilled Mackerel. On my return journey, I had developed a cooking plan and was eager to try it out. P.S. This spicy mackerel pairs well with a glass of chilled beer. Happy cooking!
